Jonathan James "Jon" Ashton (born 4 October 1982 in Nuneaton, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Stevenage Borough.
Ashton was signed by Grays Athletic from Rushden & Diamonds on a free transfer, signing a two-year deal on 30 May 2007.[1]
At the end of the 2007–08 season, the defender was named as the Players Player of The Year and Supporters Player of The Year.[2]
On 28 May 2007, Ashton was arrested with Danny Foster facing three-counts of vandalism after the pair danced in the streets of a Scottish Highlands town wrapping themselves in lager advertising banners.[3]
On 19 January 2009, Ashton was placed on the transfer list by Grays, following discussions with the club in which the player stated he would not be staying at the club for the 2009–10 season.[4] He departed Grays joining Conference rivals Stevenage Borough on 29 January 2009.[5]
